Lean/Agile Principles for Agility at Scale

- Date: 18 January, 2022
When the agile movement first saw broad adoption, there was tremendous success at the team level. It didn't take long for large organizations to run into challenges seeing that same type of success in larger, more complex initiatives. This presentation is an introduction to the expanded principles of agility intended to harness the effectiveness of agile teams and bring better organizational alignment to larger efforts built upon the effectiveness of highly agile teams.
This presentation focuses on how to expand the practice of agility to an enterprise level, based on the principles of lean and value stream management. Chris will review these key points:
- Why highly performing agile teams are a good start towards implementing transformational work, but are only the beginning
- How lean program and portfolio management enables enterprise-wide agility
- The basics of how to prioritize, coordinate, and manage multiple streams of enterprise work
- How and why finance and funding practices must change to align with enterprise agility
- The difference between applying lean concepts for innovation and experimentation, vs. applying them to mainline work at scale
